Stipe Miocic has taken an unconventional route to share his training routine with his fans! The former UFC heavyweight champion is currently busy preparing for his comeback to the Octagon. Miocic last made an appearance in the cage when he lost his title to Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 in 2021. He was supposed to face Jon Jones at UFC 295 in November 2023, but due to Jones suffering an injury, the bout was scrapped for the event.

However, in a recent update on social media, Miocic has indicated that he is still hard at work to stay ready for his return. But his choice of platform for a ‘live’ workout session for his fans has left the community holding their sides with laughter!
